    LOR unit shuts down the entire network

    The speed for DMX is set by the standard and can't be changed. It is possible the LOR board won't be responsive correctly until you also set it to be running in DMX mode instead of LOR protocol. However - it sounds like you have more of a hardware problem going on here if connecting it stops...

    LOR unit shuts down the entire network

    The LOR unit might have a different DMX pinout to your other DMX controller on that line. How are you connecting them to the PixLite DMX outputs? Using RJ45s or with your own wiring through screw terminal?

    Pixels wrong colour

    Yes the channel count per universe thing can be confusing. E.G RGBW pixels use 512 channels not 510 channels per universe. Plus as you mentioned, some controllers don't follow that rule of enforcing a pixel to have all it's data come in a single packet, so it's different for various scenarios.

    Pixels wrong colour

    By the way, 510 channels per universe is correct for PixLite controllers (510 / 3 = 170 full pixels). We don't split a pixel across universes.

    Pixels wrong colour

    Hi Allan, Something about that doesn't quite make sense but I can't put my finger on what exactly. Sounds frustrating! My first guess is the colour order on the strips is not actually BRG. If test mode doesn't show all your pixels changing to the same colour, then there is a problem with the...

    Config Assist Program Routing

    Hi Rowan, The simplest way would be to make a connection to the wired side of your lighting network directly with a second network card on your PC or with a proper WiFi access point instead of trying to route through the R PI. If you wish to keep your current route path though, you would...

    Config Assist Program Routing

    Hi Daniel, In the more recent version of the Advatek Assistant software it does automatically discover controllers outside the computer's subnet, as you've probably seen. This is designed primarily to help people who haven't configured their computer or controller's IP settings correctly. It...

    Announcing the PixLite 16 MKII Controller!

    Close! Seeing as each Long Range receiver can do 2 standard or 4 condensed channels, it will be able to do 4 outputs in 8 locations. That totals to 32 individual outputs which is how many individual outputs the controller can drive in condensed mode. Each of the 32 outputs would have a limit...

    Announcing the PixLite 16 MKII Controller!

    The fuses are rated to 4A (same as current PixLite 16). Similar to the reason behind not doing a P&P version of the MkII, power is always a limiting factor beyond the data capacity. Even with the existing PixLite 16, 4A is not enough to drive a full 340 pixels per output. Power injection is...

    pixlite continually falling off the network

    Just FYI that can also just be fixed with a factory reset instead of fully reloading the firmware. It's important to use the latest version of Advatek Assistant though because new firmware often has new features that need to be configured. However the newer versions of firmware and Advatek...

    Rookie questions

    Hi Andrew, In terms of configuration of the PixLite you just have to turn it on (slider goes blue) and set the universe number you want to output. So if you set the universe number to 2 you would send on E1.31 universe number 2 to control the board. The only thing I can think is that the...

    Rookie questions

    Hi Andrew, On that revision of the PixLite 16 controller the DMX outputs use the "ESTA" wiring standard. Have you checked the Mega 60 is setup to accept an ESTA style input?
